Trump says 'we are looking into' other Dan Sullivan on Alaska ballot, warns about governor's race
Trump said Alaska voters could mistake a retired teacher for Sen. Dan Sullivan, as both men appear on the November ballot.
- At a campaign rally on Tuesday, President Donald Trump called a retired Petersburg teacher named Dan Sullivan a 'fake' and 'hoax,' saying federal authorities are 'looking into' the independent challenger who shares the incumbent senator's name.
- Both candidates appear on the November ballot as Republican options, distinguished by middle initials and the word 'incumbent' next to the senator's name; Teacher Sullivan advanced from the primary after pulling about 2.5% of the statewide vote.
- Teacher Sullivan told HuffPost he is a legitimate candidate running over high gas prices, the war in Iran, and 'the politics of division,' noting he has conducted a dozen interviews addressing his intentions and resume.
- Trump urged Alaskans to vote for the 'real' Dan Sullivan, warning that voter confusion between the two names could swing the race and suggesting Democrats orchestrated the teacher's candidacy to siphon Republican votes.
- Alaska uses a ranked choice voting system where the teacher's presence could influence the tight race against Democratic nominee Mary Peltola, though some voters in Anchorage argue he has every right to run.
